The Make It Happen Framework

A simple approach to understanding the three modes of motion: letting, making, and forcing and how they shape clarity, energy, and choice. This gives teams and individuals language for navigating change without pressure or perfectionism.

​

People use this framework to:

  • Evaluate decisions with less friction

  • Identify misalignment sooner

  • Build momentum before mastery

  • Shift expectations and timelines

  • Strengthen agency and responsibility
